Welcome, friends, to another exercise in TAILGATE JUDGMENT. Here's how we operate, in case you're new here:
1. You leave a comment below, describing what you had to eat and/or drink while watching football last weekend.
2. Time permitting, I will respond to your comment with a 1-through-10 rating, and I will do my best to explain my rationale.
3. You will accept this ruling as binding, absolute, and superseding of any and all court rulings at the municipal, state, and federal level.
I will start. It isn't pretty, folks: I ate a Whopper.
Now, your first assumption might be that it was a meal of necessity, that perhaps I swung by a Burger King in a rush simply to have something in my belly. This is not so. I was watching football with some friends, we decided we were hungry, and we elected, on purpose, to drive to Burger King and get Burger King food and go back home and eat Burger King. I was on board with this because I hadn't eaten at Burger King in years. For dessert, I had a slice of apple pie from a local bakery. It redeemed matters somewhat. I will award myself a flat 5.
The drink situation was more pleasant: I had a couple of Southern Tier's double milk stouts. While nothing is as good as said establishment's Mokah, they were quite good. I will award myself an 8.
Your turn. I hope you ate better than I did.
